The goose story stands as one of the great stories told of all time. 🤣

Bill Bailey is sooo flipping awesome!!! Graham brings the A-game everytime 🥰

I am lucky enough to have worked with & spent time with Bill. He is a ridiculously talented & genuinely lovely person who has ENDLESS amazing anecdotes.

I’m so happy to have been born at a time where I would have an easy way to become familiar with all sorts of people who would never have shown up on American television, and Bill Bailey is one of them. He’s funny, he’s a fabulous musician, and he’s chock full of interesting tidbits-a 21st century man-of-all-trades, as it were…

Bill Bailey is an amazing human being, truly talented… to learn new musical instruments is extraordinary and yet he remains so humble, kind, with astonishing wit and intellect and remains a thoroughly a lovely man. Thank you Bill.

Imagine having Bill in your local pub. Few beers and a jamming sessions.

Excellent Mandola playing!

Bill Bailey is, hands-down, my favorite comedian, living or dead.

One of my favorite Bill Bailey moments was when he crushed Piers Morgan. Piers made a joke that was a riff on something Eddie Izzard had said but no one laughed. Piers wondered out loud why his joke went flat but Eddie’s scored and Bill said, “Well, people like Eddie”.

National treasure. Totally unique.

The Goose story is so absurd it must be true 😂

It needs a heck of a skill to make a mandola rock like this. 😀😍

Absolutely love Bill, very funny, very talented and seems a top bloke 👌🏻

“Are you alright”? 🤣

Love Graham and the show. Have been watching it for as long as I can remember. Thank you Graham you are awesome!!! And Bill Bailey is one of my favourites of all time, the way he "speaks"| with instruments is incredible. He is one in a million, saw him live, he is amazing and love everything he does. Thank you for this

I am so happy seeing episodes with Mr. Bailey 🤗

nobody tells him nothin'

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Bill is super talented and funny; he owned Strictly and is a hell of a musician and storyteller. It may be said his appearance belies the incredible hidden depths. What a guy!!

Magical story teller. Thanks Bill

Bill is a mega-talented STAR!

The only moment I can think of that’s not in this compilation was when Bill was on the show with Stephen Fry and they read out tweets on twitter & I hope Miriam Margoyles gets one of these compilations soon

What an entertainer 👏👏👏. Love him.

Bill Bailey = so much talent. :-)

Genuinely brilliant seeming bloke. Lovely ❤️

Bill Bailey, thanks for such great stories!!!! LMAO...

What makes me laugh about the "Bill Bailey dead" story is that QI posted a video at about the same time as this video with a similar pose of Bailey as the thumbnail. Seeing the two right next to each other had me worried and I googled to make sure he didn't just die before watching them in case these were in tribute.

He's always good AND funny.

❤😂😢😮😅😊😊😊😊 have that Bill bailing on again that dude is Hella funny

What a talentedvtreasure of a man

Music makes them all happy

Thanks.

a genius!

I often wonder if Bill Odie isn't a family relation. Maybe it's a Bill thing 🤷. 2 geniuses, i have had the pleasure of being influenced by their, Humour, humility, honesty, honour and for broadening my knowledge and interests!!! Thank you!!!

Hi dear gra and all good dear friends ❤❤❤❤❤❤ welcome back and so many thanks 😂❤❤❤❤

0:00 BILL BAILEY learned new instrument during lockdown 1:55 BILL BAILEY should play AQUAMAN’s dad 4:48 BILL BAILEY was named after a song 8:30 BILL BAILEY’s was held at gunpoint for having a goose 11:35 BILL BAILEY shows of musical skills

The most talented human ever

Wow. Denzel.

The Bill Bailey who died in Kentucky was my step-grandfather.

What national treasure he is!

Should get Bill and Bob Mortimer together on planet BillBob. It would be an interstellar experience

That hairline really has receded in recent years, but I do love his commitment to having long hair 😂

Jessie Buckley has one of the loveliest smiley faces ever

I will watch anything that has Bill in it 😊

I would love to have 1/10 of Bill Bailey's skill, when it comes to playing musical instruments. He is what is known as 'pitch perfect!' A natural skill, that only occurs with 1 in 10,000 people, and it is a natural ability, and not something you can learn.

Only just seen this clip, who were the other guests on this episode?

R.I.P.

Of course the traditional lute wouldn't have steel strings.

Bills story reminded me of the Valerie Harper and ?Tom Petty? hoax deaths before they actually died.

May I enquire - who is the lovely lady who appears at 8:44?

Yet more audience clapping on 1&3

Who is the young guy sitting between him & Denzel?

parasites and symbiotes are very different

I see a lot of social media posts proclaiming this person or that person must be protected. Utter nonsense. It's only applicable to Bill Bailey. The man is unique and a national treasure. There is no other comedian as good as him on observational comedy apart from Billy Connolly and he only plays the Banjo! Bill ..Bill Bailey? He does the lot. Banjo, lute, thermin, xylophone, didgeridoo.. an absolutlely supremely talented human being.

Who else is living in the never ending loop of The Graham Norton show. 👀👀

These are old clips .. must be during or shortly after covid

Social distancing nonsense
